I've been searching for a link. So far, all I can find is the link to the story on Fox News - national. But, they don't mention the information related by Mary Frances Bragiel in her report that it was a family member. I just happened to be watching the Fox News channel on the small tv here in my computer room.

I'm going back and forth between the son (which son I don't know) and the bro-in-law.
The overseas trip for the son could easily be explained. With so much attention on the Dad, I would probably want to get away too. Esp. if I thought he was guilty.
If I am right, the fact that he left is kinda an indicator that that son is not involved. If the barrel guy has been talking to LE, they would never have allowed him to leave the country.
But there is another son

I honestly don't remember where I saw it. There was speculation as to why now, at this time, Steve and his wife went on a trip out of the country. I speculated that it was just a delayed honeymoon as they just got married in August.

However, now with this information, I'm thinking it's much more than we originally thought.

Oh, LOL, and it could have been on the gretawire I saw it. I do read over there, especially since this case broke.

I am not saying it isn't a family member, but that would seem very out of sinc to me..because the neighbors did not recognize this person.Remember this was orignally an unidentified person that the neighbors had not seen there prior to this. They would know who this person was if they visited often. So this is someone who wasn't at Drew's house much, if at all. Why would a family memeber who was not within the circle of people that visited often come on a Sunday to move a barrel?

I still think this is someone who met up with Drew in their past, who had been trying to go the straight and narrow, had a whole life that was untouched by Drew now, and Drew comes forward asking for help to keep his mouth shut about this person's past.

Here is my thinking. The suicide allegedly happened the day after Stacy disappeared. So whoever it was, there wasn't enough time for LE to focus on them.
That to me says they were not normally involved in criminal activity and their felt guilt and possibly fear of being caught. That is someone who is not normally doing criminal activity.
It could be someone that Drew has blackmail material on though. But the blackmail wouldn't have to be criminal activity. Maybe even something like cheating.

If the barrel guy is the brother-in-law, he may not have been in the habit of coming to the Peterson home. We don't know what kind of relationship DP had with his sister. Perhaps family gatherings were at the mother's home (mother of Drew and his sister), and the brother-in-law was an infrequent visitor at Drew's home.

It's been almost a month now since a MALE (who I believe, is the neighbor who reported seeing DP an unknown "person" moving a barrel.)

When this first came out I believed it was Sharon (a FEMALE) who saw this, but it later has come out that it was a male. So I'm thinking WHO is this male?? Sharon's husband?? Male across the street?? Male on the other side of DP'S house??

Now we have a possible brother-in-law that might be the "barrel mover".

Has LE or anyone shown the neighbor a picture of this brother-in-law to see if he looks like the person he saw???????

Since the $25,000 payoff is a theory and not fact at present, is it possible that someone close to DP helped him move the barrel containing Stacy's body without knowing what it was at the time? Then realized later and totally freaked?

I can see a family member or close friend helping him move something out of the bedroom, maybe because DP said it was in the way or needed to go. Then when it was done, the guy went home, thought about the barrel being put in a remote location with Stacy missing, he put the pieces together and realized what he had done?

Maybe the cover story was as simple as the contents being out of date or unusuable chemicals, like the chlorine which came in similar barrels. A body in the barrel would probably not have the same weight distribution as a chemical solution or powder while the barrel was being picked up and moved around.

I think DP is a sociopath, so I can see him involving an innocent person in the disposal of Stacy's body in a rural, wooded area or in a body of water. Not exactly how one dispose of old clothing or household items.

I have no problem with the theory about Stacy being put in a "blue barrel".

The problem comes from "kids being in the house". Not just one, but 4!

I honestly can't see DP killing SP at home and putting her in a barrel, then calling/paying somone to help him move a barrel out to a vehicle, etc.

I can see, the son who told Cassandra "they had a fight, and Dad left to find her"......

Only in the inquest would the son be able to say "what time did that occur at"?? THAT IS THE BEGINNING OF EVERYTHING..............(IMO)

What if Stacy did leave in her vehicle, and then DP told the kids, hey I got to go after "Mom" so I can talk to her. It was my fault.....you guys be good and watch tv.........etc. etc. etc.

DP catches up to her vehicle, and she stops and they both get of of their vehicles to talk..............DP flies in a rage with whatever Stacy said..strangles her........puts her in her trunk and moves the car off the road.

Now, this is where I know I am wrong on this theory. It's the time frame.......

I know of a way we can narrow it down but it may be time consuming.

If this person tried to commit suicide, it's probable that 911 was called.

Do the Bolingbrook/surrounding areas list the police and fire logs in the local papers? If so, maybe we can check the archives for that day and see where calls were dispatched to. Actually, we'd need to check the areas that would have taken patients to that hospital, too.

From there I/we can do reverse address searches and compare names w/DP's associates.

You know....DP could have killed Stacey upstairs while the kids were down stairs watching tv. I mean it could have happened that way. DP could have moved the body after he tucked all the kids into bed that night. He could have easily carried her downstairs.....
Although, that would be chancing the children waking up and catching him.

Fox News - national not local - is now reporting on the man who tried to commit suicide and helped with the blue barrel. They interviewed Mary Frances Bragiel a local reporter (Chicago?) who stated that the man who tried to commit suicide is a FAMILY MEMBER.

They interviewed Craig Wall who said LE has found several blue barrels in their water searches and they've been taken back to police labs for testing. He also said that at this point they aren't sure if the blue barrel was put in water or buried. They showed on the screen a view of a river and a blue barrel lodged on the bank. I think this was for illustration only.

I hope one of the adopted children saw 'the' man, what a help that would be. I don't suppose those kiddies went to Sunday School and might have been gone on Sunday. WE don't know the time of day that the barrel was moved do WE, anyone know for certain?

I'm not saying that kids didn't hear part of it. But just that they may not have seen her taken out in the barrel, they may not have seen who helped. But yes, they probably heard any struggle.

According to the thread "Who Are The Key Players", Matt Simmons is not the husband of Drew Peterson's sister, Laura. Matt is the husband of Stacy's half-sister, Kerry.

I did a search and I think I've found information on Drew Peterson's sister, Laura. She is Laura L. Peterson, age 50. She's been married twice, to Michael E. Morris (age 52) - one child, Paige Morris (age 23); and to Michael J. Robeck (age 60) - one child, Nicole.

Laura, under her married name of Morris, is listed as living in Naperville, Illionois.

I believe Laura married Michael E. Morris first, and is currently married to Michael J. Robeck, who's has numerous addresses in Missouri, Rapid City, South Dakota, and three cities in Illinois - Monticello, Ivesdale and Bement. His daughter, Nicole, is listed only in Rapid City, South Dakota.

Maybe Stacy was never in the blue barrel but incrimanating evidence was....

I personally think that Stacy was murdered away from the house. Inroute to somewhere else and I have posted that before. The 4 children being at home, and we know Drew must love kids or he wouldn't have so many, alerts us to the fact that he would not have done that there. The children knowing there was a bad disagreement between the parents that day lends credence to Drew's story that she left for another man. Yet I don't think she did that, but possibly left the house to paint or just get away from Drew for the moment. And remember the children said they had a bad fight and Mom left..later Dad went to look for her. This says to me something took place outside the house..still the idea of the blue barrel in the bedroom is baffling..why move it to the bedroom...unless there was something in there he didn't want LE to find.

Just a thought on the kids not hearing anything...the oldest son said they'd argued earlier in the day, so let's assume he heard loud voices. If during the argument DP straddled and choked Stacy, the kids wouldn't hear anything more. Once your air passage is cut off, you can't scream.

I would think the kids were scared of DP after seeing how abusive he was to both moms. I believe if he told them stay in the room and don't come out that is exactly what they'd do.

And odd for DP to take that reporter into the basement. What significance did that have? It's possible that Stacy was trying to leave the house and DP followed her downstairs and forced her into the basement where he killed her.

The kids at some point must have asked where she was because the oldest son told his Aunt Cassandra that Stacy went to Grandpa's house.

Then later he said the parents had a fight and DP went looking for her. So did the son hear them fighting after SP supposedly went to grandpa's house?When did the 2 stories surface?

That would be about right as far as timing. But remember, Kathleen's death has not officially been called a homicide yet. So police would not have had justification for calling Stacy's disappearance a homicide or calling Drew P a suspect.

But while we were all watching for info about Kathleen's autopsy, LE slipped in the info that they had already interviewed the children. And it was right about that time that they announced that Drew P was a suspect in Stacy's disappearance and that they suspected that the investigation into Stacy might be a homicide.

We only know what's been reported in the media. Someone, presumedly a family member, helped DP moved the blue barrel from the house to the car, and the next day tried to commit suicide.

That's the extent of our information. We don't know how this guy tried to commit suicide. Did he overdose on pills, cut his wrists, shoot himself, or whatever method he might have tried. He could have been hospitalized for a period of time. Since it's been a month, we can assume the guy is no longer hospitalized, unless he's gone into some sort of mental facility.

I think the police have known this since the beginning. It's quite possible that one of the two older boys have told LE that Uncle So and So was there visiting DP. When LE went to interview the guy, they learned his was in the hospital after a suicide attempt.

also, i got a response from Randy Mucha...he said that Steve DID go to Mexico a couple of weeks ago, for a week...it had been planned for 6 months...was a belated honeymoon..

I just do not understand why he wouldn't do the right thing and cooperate with police. My goodness--wouldn't we all do the right thing? That family knows the dirty secrets of Drew Peterson. This behavior did not just start.

Drew's mother is Betty Morphey, age 79. Her husband, I presume, is Albert J. Morphey. [quote]There hasn't been any mention of Albert, and I wonder if he's deceased and Betty Morphey is a widow?[/
Betty Morphey mentioned in her telephone interview that her husband had recently had heart problems, so no, he is not deceased.

Also, in one video I saw the Senior Morpheys going up the porch into DP's house.

DD:

Is there anywhere that has been said/written that is "unknown male" has been released from the hospital?? Or even, that he is still in the hospital??

Right now...........it's all hearsay. Was this leaked from a family source, media, or whom???

I don't think I ever said anything about rather or not he was still in the hospital..and I have never heard one way or the other if he has been released. But I do beleive a discussion between his doctor , himself and a family memeber of his would have led to releasing the info to LE. And I do beleive that happened early on in the case. Now I think they are hoping by releasing a small bite of info they will get someone else to come forward that can add that last piece to finding her body. How long Le has had this info and rather or not they have more info from him is up to speculation at this point..as well as his ID. So this is what we love at WS..a good tidbit of info to fuel our thinking process.

I heard that drew's bro flipped while bing interviewed and is now on the 2nd floor at st joe's hosp. the brother confessed to helping drew stuff the body in a 55gal drum and pouring concrete in with it..then they dumped her in a body of water, but he couldn't remember where.

Monday Nov 12

cant reveal my source but it is someone very very close to the investigation..also found out that it was actually a 30gal plastic drum

Monday Nov 12

I thimk they want 2 find the body first

ETA: I'm not sure any of the above have to do with the real barrel moving man. It was just interesting in hindsight and I wanted to post this

The below item was originally posted by Greta on November 12th, I had completely forgotten about it until a poster at Greta dug it up. Very interesting and goes to show, sometimes there's a little bit of truth to every rumor.

by Greta Van Susteren
Email just received from FNC’s Jeff Goldblatt:
The email below is to just give you the behind the scenes…it takes you inside our work….and also note how rumors arise, and we are compelled to chase them down ….just in case they are true….also make sure you read my note after Jeff’s email:
From: Goldblatt, Jeff
To: Van Susteren, Greta
Sent: Mon Nov 12 11:39:30 2007
Subject: Morning
There is rampant speculation out here in Bolingbrook among some of my competitors covering this story. The latest rumor: that a relative or friend of Drew Peterson has committed suicide, because the heat of police questioning got to him. It’s mind boggling how misinformation gets spread on some of these stories. Then again, it’s our business to gather information, and you still have to turn a story, even when police aren’t talking.
FYI: the Will County State’s Attorney will not reveal when the exhumation of the body of Kathleen Savio will take place. However, it seems as if today is unlikely, because of the observance of Veteran’s Day. Typically, this is a day for families to visit cemeteries to pay respects to loved ones, and it seems implausible that a high-profile exhumation would take place, and potentially disrupt those visiting other gravesites.
Have a good one…
Note: Jeff emailed me again to make sure you know that neither Sgt. Peterson’s brother nor Ric Mims (his friend) is dead. The above is meant just to show you how rumors send us scrambling…

Still, I think this is not a family member, but someone from Drew's disreputable past..who thought they saw the last of Drew and the life they left behind. If you just helped move the drum, came forward and told LE that..there would be no reason for suicide. The suicide comes into play when you think that is yur last best option..there is no hope or help in sight..so Drew made it known he was not going to let this person off the hook for past transgrations if push came to shove and he didn't help or he later went to the police. And this person must have had a whole new life and was worried about hurting the people in that life and losing what they had gained since they last saw Drew.

11-27-2007, 10:33 PM

IIRC, Michael Robinson is the guy who got Drew a cell and a rental car after LE confiscated Drews. It was originally stated that Michael was a LE officer but Ric Mims said that's not true. Said he did heating and air or something like that.

Ok DD, in a nutshell...seems to be some truth to the rumor that started a couple weeks ago that Drew's brother attempted suicide after helping move the barrel. Many of us were thinking it was simply a rumor because Paul, the only brother being mentioned, seems to be coming around pretty regularly. Well, DP has half or stepbrothers from his mom's marriage to Albert Morphey. Thomas and John, both in their 40s. We havent determined which one.

There is also Mike Robinson. He also was a cop but has been fired I believe. DP stayed with him for a brief time when all this happened. He refuses to take a lie detector test.

So basically, we're still in the dark about everything but the rumor is starting to have some validity to it. It's being discussed on NG and the major news stations.

DeltaDawn

11-27-2007, 10:36 PM

Could this person even be a young she..I know LE referred to them as male..but could it be Drew's new love interest..and once she realized what had transpired tried to kill herself? Probably not..but had to throw that monkey wrench into the scheme of things.

The one thing I am sure of is that there is more than one person involved in this case. Two cars were not at the house when her sister went by at 11:30PM to bring over the money to the boy. But, they were there at 2:30 AM after she reported her sister missing. No way Drew was driving both vehicles and no way his narcissistic ass was walking back and forth to cars.So, help was there for him. This is a crack between a hard place and a rock and I would bet that LE knows who the helper(s) is. They need to cut a deal cuz Drew is going down and if they want some slack they'd better cooperate or they will be at the same place Drew will be and that isn't a good place to be.

Maybe this person has already cut a deal and is under protection..I would hope so, since it's very likely Drew was not the only dirty cop on the force in BB and also he has friends I would think in some very low places, who would do anything for drugs or money. And those friends reallywouldn't want the details to what they were doing or who they were doing it to..just where, when and how would suffice for that type.

GVS Update:
The man who helped DP move the blue barrel is indeed DP's stepbrother Thomas Morphey. He lives a mile and a half from DP. The day after SP went missing TM overdosed on three anti-depressants, including Zoloft and Zanax. Don't know where he is now. Went to his house and his porch light was on all day, phone calls to the home went unanswered, curtains were drawn, could hear dog inside.
We know that TM has worked with DP in the past and KS's family knew him. DP has had a relationship with this man for a while.
GVS: Is there any reason to believe SP was in that blue barrel.
MF: That should be a very easy question for DP to answer: What was in the blue barrel that you loaded into you truck the day you wife disappeared? The Denali was missing at 11pm that night. A blue barrel was seen in the back yard by a neighbor before SP's disappearance, but don't know when it first showed up. People use them for many things.
GVS: KS's death is being investigated. To Charlie: Do you know TM?
KS's nephew Charlie: I knew TM--he was a bartender at the bar when I was a DJ. It was maybe 9 or 10 years ago. I last saw him around the mid 1990's. I didn't see him much after they closed the bar. DP and Charlie's Aunt Kitty (KS) owned the bar. We (Charlie and TM) drank a lot together. Don't know what kind of relationship that DP has with TM now. TM was always worried about what DP thought of him and what DP would say about things he did.
GVS: TM had an overdose recently. What did you think about that?
Charlile: I thought "same old Tom." He partied a lot, but don't know if he had a drug problem.
BG: Up until now all the criticism was that they could not connect DP with the body. They still can't. Not buying the blue barrel right now.
JH: Just like Scott Peterson. This could be the key piece of evidence if DP won't explain or can't explain where that barrel is.
TW: Police have to zero in on TM. If anyone had anything to do with this and he tends to be suicidal he would be the weak link. LE should be leaning on him real hard.
BG: This guy is very vulnerable and he will jump from the dark side to the light side very quickly -- if there is evidence he can provide it, it there is no evidence, he can tell them that.
JH: It is a dream moment. If LE can get answers, they may get enough to prosecute the case.
TW: There are often red herrings, like the letter--this person who sent the letter could have gotten a reward yet they didn't sign the letter?

i don't know WC...it's amazing what some folks can do/function on lots of xanax....either way, i don't believe that T Morphey has memory lapses...he just doesn't want to tell LE the entire truth, IMO...he wants everyone to think he had no idea that Stacy was in the barrel..that he's innocent, yada yada yada.....he'll use this "overdose" to his advantage now & milk it for everything it's worth...again, imo

the news (Fox tv). Has anyone in IL heard of Rice Lake? Saw that a Tom Morphey and a John Morphey aka Team Morphey did some fishing there. Could be DP's brothers

MLS # Here's 3 muskies caught in 1 1/2 days on Rice Lake. Tom Morphey caught his first musky ever- a 36" fish. John Morphey caught his first 2 muskies in 18 years- a 32" fish, and a 34 1/2" fish, which was his first legal fish. All fish were caught on Suicks- black on overcast Friday 11/2 and gold on sunny Saturday 11/3. We're not sure of the weight or girth of any of the 3 fish. The attachments are as follows: Musky 1 - caught by Tom Morphey- 36" on 11/2/01- Rice Lake on a black Suick- reported by Arrowhead Resort Musky 2 - caught by John Morphey- 32" on 11/2/01- Rice Lake on a black Suick- reported by Arrowhead Resort Musky 3- caught by John Morphey- 34 1/2" on 11/3/01- Rice Lake on a gold Suick- reported by Arrowhead Resort John Morphey
Team Morphey Scores Big on Rice Lake ()

This has to be DP's step-brothers. When I was searching the surname Morphey, there were very very few by that surname. Since we know that the two step-brothers are Thomas and John, this has to be the two brothers.

If Thomas worked at the bar Drew owned..wasn't that bar known to have a lot of drug deals, etc taking place there..maybe Thomas also knows about all of that and has started talking..that could be the reason there are investigations from the Feds as well as the BB chief coming out and wanting to research what went on while Drew worked for BB...Thomas does tie in nicely to all of this..and maybe he saw more then Drew realized..if Drew wrote him off as a stoned drunk.

(snip)
Stacy's friend and neighbor, Sharon Bychowski, says Drew did visit someone in the hospital a few days after Stacy disappeared.

"He needed me to watch the kids if I could for about an hour and a half; he was going to go visit a relative that had tried to commit suicide," Bychowski said.

Bychowski says she asked Drew about that relative's wellbeing when he returned from the hospital later.

"I did ask him, I said, 'how is your relative,' and he said, 'What? Oh, he's OK, he just had some issues, lost his family, lost his job, you know,'" Bychowski said.

She also says police asked her about a barrel immediately after Stacy disappeared.

Directions
Rice Lake/Banner Marsh State Fish & Wildlife Areas are both accessible by US Rte 24. Both sites are well signed with Banner Marsh providing four access points and Rice Lake one.
Traveling from the north, via I-55 to Bloomington-Normal, take I-74 west to 474 which will bypass Peoria to the south. Exit 474 onto US Rte 24 west, travel approximately 15 miles on US Rte 24 west to access Banner Marsh and approximately 20 miles to the entrance to Rice Lake.
Traveling from the south, you can access these sites by utilizing these same routes. Traveling from the east or west, travelers may utilize US Rte 136 to state routes 78 & 97, one miles west of Havana. Travel north approximately five miles to US Rte 24, then approximately 12 miles to the Rice Lake entrance and 17 miles to the Banner Marsh entrance.

Also watched the repeat of Greta.....................

Thomas Morphey has been identified as the man who helped move the blue barrel. It was the NEXT DAY that he overdosed on 3 anti-depressants and alcohol. EMS was called to the house and he was transported to the hospital and released the next day.

Mark Fuhrman said that the media has been unable to get identity of the neighbor who saw DP and Tom Morphey move the barrel. Mark Fuhrman said he's gone to the Morphey residence a couple of times - the porch light is on, there's no sign of anyone at home, and neighborhood kids haven't seen the family. He said no one seems to know where Thomas Morphey is.

The interview with Kathleen Savio's nephew, Charley - Charley says Tom Morphey managed the bar (owned by DP) and was bartender there when Charley was a D-J. He said he hasn't seen Tom in a long time - years. Greta asked if Tom had a drug problem and Charley said he didn't know. She asked about alcohol and he said he heard Tom flipped his truck while intoxicated.

What I'm wondering at this point is where Thomas Morphey is??? Has he and his wife gone into hiding? Is he talking to the police?

This is one time that the media does have one little tidbit.......the name of the guy who helped move the blue barrel and the facts surrounding his drug overdose, but that's all they have. Nothing else is known.

yes, this is better than mine, TG...thanks....this means he would have had plenty of time after say, 2 pm that day up until late late that night to have driven that far & back......again, hmmmmm wish we knew what time the neighbor saw DP & the other man loading up the barrel into the SUV...
Was DP's quote to Cassandra that he'd been out all day looking for Stacy? Cell phone pings should easily show if he was anywhere along that route unless he knew to turn his phone off.

Also watched the repeat of Greta.....................

Thomas Morphey has been identified as the man who helped move the blue barrel. It was the NEXT DAY that he overdosed on 3 anti-depressants and alcohol. EMS was called to the house and he was transported to the hospital and released the next day.

Mark Fuhrman said that the media has been unable to get identity of the neighbor who saw DP and Tom Morphey move the barrel. Mark Fuhrman said he's gone to the Morphey residence a couple of times - the porch light is on, there's no sign of anyone at home, and neighborhood kids haven't seen the family. He said no one seems to know where Thomas Morphey is.

The interview with Kathleen Savio's nephew, Charley - Charley says Tom Morphey managed the bar (owned by DP) and was bartender there when Charley was a D-J. He said he hasn't seen Tom in a long time - years. Greta asked if Tom had a drug problem and Charley said he didn't know. She asked about alcohol and he said he heard Tom flipped his truck while intoxicated.

What I'm wondering at this point is where Thomas Morphey is??? Has he and his wife gone into hiding? Is he talking to the police?

This is one time that the media does have one little tidbit.......the name of the guy who helped move the blue barrel and the facts surrounding his drug overdose, but that's all they have. Nothing else is known.

oh yes, i'm sure LE knows what time the barrel was being loaded in the SUV...just wish WE knew, lol
Oh man, what did I say just a few posts away, now this article says two days :doh:

By Matthew Walberg | Tribune staff reporter 11:32 PM CST, November 27, 2007 http://m1.2mdn.net/viewad/817-grey.gif (http://ad.doubleclick.net/click;h=v8/3618/0/0/&#37;2a/n;44306;0-0;0;12925715;21-88/31;0/0/0;;~sscs=%3f) After allegedly helping Drew Peterson haul a large container that was warm to the touch from a bedroom, a male relative of the former Bolingbrook police sergeant told a friend Oct. 28 that he was afraid he had just helped Peterson dispose of the body of his wife, Stacy Peterson, a source close to the investigation said.

The relative was so distraught that he was hospitalized two days later after an apparent suicide attempt, two sources close to the case said. The relative's name is being withheld by the Tribune; he has not been charged with a crime nor named as a suspect

Leila, and I gather they heard barking at Morpheys house? Posters at Greta are wanting someone to do a well check or notify the humane society. Not a bad idea IMO.

i'm thinkin he knew to turn his cell phone off....BUT, if Cassandra talked to him at around 11 pm that night, they'll know where he was when he talked to Cassandra....he was, more than likely closer to home by then, i'm guessing...

A brief time later, Drew Peterson returned to the coffee shop, the source said. Drew Peterson and the relative then drove to the Petersons' home on Pheasant Chase Court, the source said. Drew Peterson asked the relative to help him move something from the home into the Petersons' sport-utility vehicle, the source said.

The two men went to an upstairs bedroom and removed a large covered and sealed 4-foot-long rectangular plastic container and placed it in the SUV, the sources familiar with the case said.

They left the home about 10p.m., and Drew Peterson then dropped the relative off at his home, at which point the distraught man contacted a friend, saying words to the effect of, "I think I just helped Drew dispose of Stacy," the source said.

The relative allegedly told the friend the plastic container was warm to the touch and may have weighed about 120 pounds, a source said.

Drew Peterson was scheduled to work at 5 p.m. Oct. 28 but called in to take a personal or sick day, said Bolingbrook police Lt. Ken Teppel.

A source familiar with the investigation said that at about 7 p.m., Drew Peterson picked up his relative from a park and the two went to a local coffee shop.

After a short time, Drew Peterson told the relative he had to go somewhere and left the man at the coffee shop with a cell phone, along with instructions that the relative should not answer if it should ring, the source said. The relative waited for some time, and the phone rang, showing the name "Stacy" on the caller ID, the source said.

both cars were gone at around 11 pm that night, per Cassandra...
both cars were there at 1:30 in the afternoon, per the neighbor...hmmm

The neighbor, Sharon, said both cars were in the driveway until 1:30pm on Sunday. The cars were still gone when Cassandra went there at 11:00pm that night. Both cars were back in the driveway at 2:30am Monday morning- 3 and 1/2 hours later, when Cassandra drove by again.

So, there's a window of at least 10 hours and at the most 13 hours.

so all of this took place at night...even removing the container from the home!!!!...NOT in broad daylight ....dumbass should have let his relative answer the phone..that's how LE knew he didn't actually talk to Stacy...the phone wasn't answered....

ok, this won't jibe with Rice Lake, imo....not enough time to get there & back from 10 pm to 2 am...

Another source familiar with the investigation said that on Wednesday, Drew Peterson's 14-year-old son is expected to appear before a special grand jury looking into not only Stacy Peterson's disappearance, but the 2004 death of Drew Peterson's third wife, Kathleen Savio, who was found dead in her bathtub. Her death originally was classified as an accident, but authorities have reopened the case, saying the circumstances of her death appear to have been arranged to conceal a homicide.

Yes......if there's dogs that have been left and no one is taking care of them, then there should be a welfare check.

Also.........I did check out Gretawire, and posters there are saying that they heard Shep Smith say that Greta was heading back to Bolingbrook. I didn't watch Shep, but if that's true..........Greta must be expecting some sort of big news happening there soon.

It sounds like LE has known about Thomas since the 30th. Why did they waste so much time focusing just on a blue barrel? No wonder Drew was so cocky. Maybe he intended to throw people off, who knows.

something else i was just thinking about...the timeline could be even shorter....Cassandra knows both cars were gone around 11 pm, & then she said they were both there at 2:30 am....who's to say that both cars weren't back in the driveway at midnight or 1 am for that matter....from what i understand, Cassandra didn't sit & watch the driveway for over 3 hours....if DP dropped the relative off at 10 pm, then someone had to help DP shuffle the vehicles around.....& maybe even help dispose of Stacy....IF we believe the relative, Morphey...

I've just finished catching up with this thread and OMG........a LOT of questions answered with that article! :eek:

Yes......the timeline is now down to 4 hours, so that really shortens the distance from Bolingbrook. But still............driving at 50 - 60 mph, the disposal of the body could be 75 - 100 miles away. Figure an hour and a half of driving, an hour to dispose of the body, and an hour and a half to get home. When Cassandra called DP and reported he was out of breath and she could hear keys, he had probably just finished disposing of the body and was getting ready to drive home!

I've got one that's 4 feet long, but it's only about16 inches wide and 8 inches deep. It's for those long tubes of wrapping paper. There's just no way a body would fit into something like that. I can't think of seeing anything larger.

I've got a rubbermaid container with a hinged lid for camping gear. Its 3ft by 21inches and 18 inches deep. There are bigger ones, but I chose the size I bought because it would fit in the back of my SUV. Mine is big enough to cram a 100 pound person in IMO.

Leila

11-28-2007, 03:21 AM

So, now there seems to be a new direction. We're back to two containers - one is a blue barrel and one is a 4 foot rectangle container.

And the rectangle container was moved at night.......probably after the children were in bed or deeply engrossed in a movie or video game. The two younger children were probably in bed.

It shortens the time line drastically too. The water searches for a blue barrel might be wasted time - the rectangle was probably buried.

As I took the tour Drew offered me room to room exclusively and without any cameras, in the basement there was a large blue top to a container - not a barrel - but a rubbermaid type container that was very large without the matching bottom. Relevant? I don’t know. But it seemed odd to me that it was sitting there without the bottom in sight. Drew did not make reference to it.
